Answer To prove that the roots of the equation 2kx 2 5x k 0 are real and distinct for all real values of k we need to show that the discriminant of the quadratic equation is always positive which means that the equation has two distinct real roots The discriminant of a quadratic equation ax 2 bx c 0 is given by b 2 4ac So the discriminant of the given equation is 5 2 42kk 25 8k 2 To prove that the discriminant is always positive for all real values of k we can show that 25 8k 2 0 for all real values of k Lets start by assuming that 25 8k 2 0 for some real value ...View the full answer

I have done my Master degree in Geography. I teach Earth Science since 1 year , the best experience that I would like to share is that irrespective of basics that an individual has, need to help the student in understanding the core concepts in clarity. In that way, I am able to push my students in understanding the basic logical structure of subject and excel slowly. I prefer and pump the concepts slowly rather than going in a super sonic speed. For any student (irrespective of class) acquiring interest in the subject matters rather than learning like a machine.
